Abstract:

An opportunistic spectrum sharing protocol based on OFDM cooperation relaying was proposed.When the primary user experiences weak channel conditions,it could not achieve its target rate.If the cognitive user could help the primary user achieve its target rate,it accessed the pectrum of the primary user in the cooperation way.In this access way,the cognitive user used a fraction of the subcarriers to amplify-and-forward the signal of the primary user,to help the primary user achieve its target rate.And uses the remained subcarriers to transmit its own signal.The resource allocation was analyzed in this cooperation way.An optimal resource allocation algorithm based on dual ethod was proposed,which maximized the rate of the cognitive user while g anteeing the primary user achieve its target rate.If the cognitive user could not help the primary user achieve its target rate,to make use the spectrum efficiently,the cognitive user accessed the spectrum of the primary user in the non-cooperation way,and uses the whole accessed spectrum to transmit its own signal.The simulation demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed spectrum sharing protocol as well as its benefit to both primary and cognitive user.

Key words: spectrum sharing, cooperative relaying, OFDM, subcarrier pairing, power allocation
